Seperate mentions notifications from username

[webbongithub]

Your use case

What would you like to do?

Be able to get notifications when I'm mentioned but not when someone types my username.

Why would you like to do it?

My username is "w", and literally any time even remotely uses w it mentions me, such as:

• "w/e"
• "w hat"
• "o w o"
• "https://www.google.com/search?q=massive+w+fortnite"

If I disable it, I don't get notified about mentions.

How would you like to achieve it?

Have a separate setting for mentions rather than it being triggered by my username being present

Have you considered any alternatives?

No.

Additional context

oh god make it stop

@clokep can you confirm this is fixed by Intentional Mentions

Yes, this will be fixed by MSC3952 once that's implemented everywhere.

People will need to turn your username into a pill in order to mention you.

As a workaround you can likely disable the "Messages containing my username" notification setting.
